I know, my kettle is filthy… When I moved off the stove several years ago, I picked up a cheap stainless steel kettle on eBay. It’s only 8.5 gallons, but it had a thermometer and ball valve installed, and the price was right – $99. The only downside was that it had the pipe […] With all the writing I’ve been doing about yeast lately, I thought it would probably be a good idea to outline my general yeast propagation and storage procedures. There’s an enormous variation, both philosophically and technically, among homebrewers – from directly pitching a smack pack to acid washing and storage in -80°C freezers. My own […] Name: NOLA Date: Feb 21, 2010 6:01 pm Distance: 3.86 miles Elapsed Time: 40:08.1 Avg Speed: 5.8 mph Max Speed: 12.0 mph Avg Pace: 10′ 24″ per mile Min Altitude: 33 ft Max Altitude: 108 ft Click on this link to display the track in Google Maps. This link will be valid until Mar […] Most homebrewers, once they get seriously involved in the hobby, will make starters for their beers. While the commercial yeast products are advertised as being “pitchable”, their cells counts don’t allow brewers to inoculate a 5-gallon batch of ale at the industry standard rate of about 0.75 billion/L-°P. And the true cell counts may be […] 18 Feb 2010, 23:19 | Tags: booze, helloworld, math, physics, toys | Category: Brewing |

Yes, my garage is a mess. You guys, I’m seriously. Best Xmas ever. I brewed a batch of APA yesterday and got to try out my new Barley Crusher and March pump for the first time. So not only do I not have to lift 6 gallons of boiling wort to chest height […] The new iPhoto face-tagging feature works perfectly… I was a (very) little under pace this week, but it’s also the furthest I’ve ever run. Not bad for the first long run in over a month. Except that I forgot to tape my nipples again and righty actually bled a little. I am a little worried, though, given that three weeks from today […] So going to crazy lengths to minimize their fuel costs is called “hypermiling”. According to Wikipedia “extreme hypermilers” will do things like coasting with the engine off and running red lights. I’m not suicidal, so to coin a term, I’d rather think of myself as a “supermiler”. I had one of the best days of […] I (finally) got an iPhone so I’m selling my old 40 GB. If you’re interested check out the eBay auction. I moved up another mile for this week’s long run, but dropped below a 10 minute pace again as a result. Not by much though. Still, it’s week four and I’m already a mile behind the training program. Fortunately I’m just looking to finish this thing, not place. Having an iPhone is definitely awesome for […] |
